Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Social control refers to the way in which order is maintained in a community.
Rationale 2: Social interparticipation refers to community activities that are designed to meet people's needs for companionship.
Rationale 3: Mutual support refers to the community's ability to provide resources at a time of illness or disaster.
Rationale 4: Production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services are the means by which the community provides for the economic needs of its members. It includes supplying food and clothing as well as providing water, electricity, police and fire protection, and the disposal of refuse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: PHC involves issues of the environment, agriculture, and housing. It also involves other social, economic, and political issues such as poverty, transportation, unemployment, and economic development to sustain the population. Distribution and participation are two of the five principles incorporated in PHC. Consumerism and governmental subsidies are not part of the PHC makeup. Low life expectancies and high mortality rates among children are two concerns about health care that led to the global health strategy of primary health care.
